What are the alternatives, anyone know? Malaysia? Are they even letting anyone in? Just turn in your Thai tracking band to any of these countries to get in free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SymS Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Is there a ball and chain option? I think it would be more appealing to would-be tourists. Edited June 17, 2021 by SymS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make you believe that they want to reopen, but in reality they aim to destroy the whole economy. It's a global project that only a very few countries are rebelling against it, which coincidentally are on the black list of the international community. please tell me more about this Global project and plan to destroy the whole economy, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chicken George Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Wrist bands will just not happen. They will be thrown in the bin or left in a taxi as soon as they are given out. I do hope tourists will he told about them before they book a flight. I can see all hell breaking loose when someone tries to put one on a tourist after a LONG haul flight.. Going to make some interesting videos on YouTube.

sincerement_yours Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 My heart goes out to all those foreigners who made the great misstep of buying a condo (and/or other properties) in Thailand; just see what they will have to endure to just be able to reach their properties (if not more is added)! It almost happened to me but I had a great intuition of first visiting a "Thai Immigration Office" before embarking on such an adventure, and behold, what I saw left me in shock and awe! It was the absolute worst sight in Thailand ever (and God knows how many visits I made to that country). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be lucky if they reach double figures when they open with draconian measures such as these. What is happening to Thailand? I have been here since 1980 and I cannot believe how many restrictive rules have been borne. Now Communist Laos and Vietnam are more inviting than Thailand. This in addition of bars closing at midnight, 90 days report, notification of residence, restrictive buying hours for alcohol, the wearing of locating electronic bracelets for tourists and security checkpoints on the main road leading to the island screening everyone arriving or trying to leave, 300% tax on alcohol, all businesses gone, do they really believe that tourists will be back in 2 years time?

vandeventer Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Lead by example. you and you cabinet should wear them first. And tell us how you feel at the end of each day being tracked everywhere you go. Tourist love their freedom otherwise what's the sense of being a tourist? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jethro69 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Prior July 1st, they might come up with an allocated "minder", who will ensure you stay on path, and don't make any comments that would harm the reputation of this supreme holiday resort, and the sandbox crew of course. Of course you're going to pay for the extra service.???? Well, if those "minders" would be former go-go bar employees, it might become a success story....the only so far.????????????

Trying hard to make the remaining prospective visitors cancel their bookings as well... I suspect the authorities are telling the locals and business that they are letting the foreigners in everything will be hunky-dory. But i bet they arent telling the locals about all the crazy requirements. When no-one turns up, the authorities will say they did all they can. And once again, it will be the farangs fault.. this time for NOT being in Thailand 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post head bender Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 They all canceled their plans because of 7 day turning into 14 nothing to with the fact that Phuket will remain closed for all intents and purposes. Not a drink to be had or any fun anywhere just what I want on my hols! A gulag in Siberia sounds just as much fun.

Trujillo Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 "The initial idea was a decent one... - Vaccinated tourists - 7 Days - 2 test - Free to roam island" Not sure, but don't you need to add: wear a mask all the time you are outside of your hotel room?

Inala Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 3 hours ago, John435 said: Is it waterproof? What happens if you take it off? Presumably it needs charging at some point. Will they use the data to spot people leaving the island (not that anyone would be stupid enough to wear it while they did that) or are they going to be actively looking for groups of people in unexpected places on the island and then turning up to bust up drinking, etc? You can't take them off, they are locked on like an felon's ankle bracelet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post grubman Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 I am currently out of Thailand working and will be returning late August, i am fully vaccinated and was hoping that Phuket would be an easier way to return home with out having to do the 14 days quarantine in a hotel in Bangkok which i have have done already in November of last year, with all these regulation i am think it is best to just do my quarantine in Bangkok again, i don't want to be tracked 24/7 and to have to do a total of 4 PCR test is ridiculous, the cost will be high, however my company pays for my quarantine but in Bangkok the tests are included in the quarantine hotel prices. so lets hope in the mext couple of months maybe somethings will change, but i am getting a good laugh out of the daily flipping and flopping 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
